Fox Demon: Reincarnation of the Ninth Life
Chapter 73: Traveling in the World
The countryside is one of the very few places in the human world that has not been persecuted. Although it is relatively backward compared to towns, it is precisely because of its backwardness that it is not coveted by other forces.
They are located in the center of the human world, but on the outskirts of a town with tall walls. Although they are not protected by the walls, they are also not disturbed by monsters.
"Sister Huaichun, pass me the firewood."
"Okay lady."
Two girls in simple clothes were lighting a fire in front of a dirty stove, cooking their lunch for the day.
Although it is just some white porridge, it requires special cooking skills.
"Oh, I told you not to call me Miss. I'm not a Miss anymore."
One of the girls wiped the sweat from her face and said.
"Oh, yes miss."
Huaichun said seriously.
"Oh, never mind. It's up to you."
The two girls were Huaichun and Dongfang Qinlan. Unlike before when they wore elegant silk clothes, they were now wearing cloth clothes, and most of the decorations on their hair and necks had been pawned.
Qin Lan only kept a hairpin, which she bought at the market with Lan.
Now, half a year has passed since they escaped from Shenhuoshan Villa, and they have been living in seclusion in a village on the outskirts of a small town.
Lan spent three days building the cabin. It wasn't very big, but it wasn't crowded for three people to live in.
The human world is populated by a large population, but high-ranking officials and aristocratic families are always a minority, while farmers are the majority.
Outside the tall city walls, there are numerous villages that hide themselves in the woods or mountains, isolated from the outside world...
Shenhuoshan Villa announced a few months ago that the old patriarch Dongfang Guyue passed away, and his eldest daughter Dongfang Huaizhu succeeded him as the second patriarch of Shenhuoshan Villa.
When Huaichun learned the news, he was overjoyed and thought that Huaizhu had defeated Jin Renfeng.
But Qin Lan was not happy. She thought it was Jin Renfeng's plan. After all, killing the master and seizing the throne would not give you a good reputation. It was possible that he let his sister be the puppet head of the family and then hid behind the scenes as the real controller.
From then on, Dongfang Qinlan discussed with Lan and Huaichun and decided that the best way to protect their own information was to hide it and never inquire about the news about Shenhuoshan Villa again, so that they could truly live in seclusion from the world.
Even so, they would move every few months and constantly wander around the interior of the human world to avoid being found.
'Boom, boom, boom'
'Boom, boom, boom'
There was a rhythmic knock on the door, and Qin Lan immediately stood up to greet him. It was Lan who came back.
Normally, the door of their cabin is closed. In order to identify who is coming, they have established a pattern for knocking on the door. If there is no pattern, they will stay indoors and pretend that no one is at home.
'squeak'
The door was opened and Lan's tall figure stood at the door.
"You're back."
"Ah."
Lan responded softly and handed a bag of copper coins to Dongfang Qinlan.
Although his great demon king powers were gone after his previous journey to the gates of hell, his three senses were still there. Coupled with his physical fitness as a demon, it was not difficult for him to find a job in the town.
"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Lan."
Dongfang Qinlan smiled.
Lan touched her head and shook his head.
To be honest, compared to killing, this kind of life is no different from enjoyment to him.
"Take a rest first, the meal will be ready soon."
Qin Lan asked Lan to sit down, but Lan shook his head.
"After hoeing the land, it's just right."
After saying that, Lan picked up the hoe beside him and went out.
Next to the wooden house, Lan had cleared a piece of land to grow vegetables. Not far away there was a stream with many fish in it.
Although they are not big in size, they are also meat. The meat in the city is expensive, so the fish in the stream are not as affordable.
Coming to the small cultivated land, Lan continued to turn the soil to supply more oxygen to the land.
This process is very boring for others, but Ke Lan enjoys it, feeling the warm sunshine and the breeze that blows from time to time, which makes his sweaty body feel cool.
Although he has lost his magic power, Lan lives such a happy life. He feels that the world is not as cruel as before. Isn't this what he is pursuing?
The strong survive, the weak perish, and the cruel law of the jungle where only the fittest survive seems to have slowly faded from Lan's mind...
Gray smoke rose from the chimney, a sign that the meal was ready.
Lan looked at the ground under his feet that had almost been hoed, slowly put the hoe aside, and returned home.
"Miss...are you sure this...is edible?"
Huaichun looked at the 'white porridge' that Qin Lan had scooped out, which should be said to be between porridge and rice.
Not to mention the taste, the texture is definitely not good.
"Hey, I don't know why this happened. It was like this many times before."
Dongfang Qinlan scratched his head embarrassedly.
In the past, Huaichun was the one who made most of the white porridge, and Qin Lan just helped out.
Today, the two of them switched identities, Huaichun helped out, and Qinlan controlled the heat.
And that's it...
Judging from her words, the rice at home must have suffered a lot.
The three of them sat down, and Lan looked at the "white porridge" in front of him, a little confused.
"Is this rice? Or porridge?"
He wondered in his heart.
Looking up at Huaichun, he thought it was still her who cooked the meal.
After the end of Huaichun's eyes, he glanced at Dongfang Qinlan beside him.
Lan understood everything in an instant. It seemed that Qin Lan did it.
Qin Lan also looked at Lan with great energy, as if to say, "Eat, eat quickly."
Lan sighed and slowly picked up the spoon.
I took a bite and it had almost no taste, but the texture was definitely not good.
"good to eat."
Lan said calmly.
"Hey, I knew you would like it."
Although I don’t know where Dongfang Qinlan got such great courage to say this.
But it’s better not to disturb her self-confidence.
Afterwards, Huaichun brought up the side dishes and some fish, and they officially started their lunch.
After it was over, Lan said goodbye to the two and came to the river.
Looking at the trickle of water flowing in the river, Lan frowned.
During this half year, he had also tried to use the demonic power in his body again.
But in the end, it was all in vain. The once powerful demonic power seemed to have never appeared, and now his body was empty.
Now he is just a human being with a stronger body and sharper senses than ordinary people.
Although he had lost his power, he also greatly avoided the possibility of being recognized as a monster in the town.
Lan slowly squatted down, and the trickle of water flowed across his fingers, feeling icy and refreshing.
But it no longer has the familiarity it had before.
Lan slumped on the ground and unconsciously reached into his pockets. A large, round object caught his attention.
When he took it out, it turned out to be a red ball half the size of a palm.
That was the fire-proof bead that Dongfang Guyue had once given him. Perhaps, it could be considered his relic now.
Feeling the scalding breath, as time went by, Lan began to feel a burning pain in the palms of his hands.
It seems that he is still a monster and has not changed.
He just lost all his magical powers.
'Sob, sob'
A strange sound came from the bushes behind Lan. His eyes fixed and he picked up a stone and threw it over.
With a thud, a hare fell straight down from the grass, twitching all over.
Looks like we can have a snack tonight.
Lan thought about it, picked up the hare, peeled off its fur, and washed it clean by the river.
. . . . . .
More than two months later, Lan started a fire and burned down the cabin where he once lived.
He put all the luggage on a trailer, Huaichun and Qin Lan sat on it, and Lan acted as the driver.
For him, a monster, everything is simple.
All the way south.
In a suburb outside Fengbang City, a house was rebuilt.
This time, rocks were used because the cabin last time could not withstand the burning of Qin Lan's pure sun flame.
Huaichun's control of the fire was good, but once she started it, she almost set the whole house on fire.
Lan took a little longer this time, making Qin Lan wait a long time.
So as soon as it was built, she ran in immediately. After all, sleeping in the grass outside was not comfortable at all.
It was at this time that the three of them officially started living here.
They didn't expect that the act of moving for several months actually protected them.
This time, for some reason, they did not move after a few months, which led to the accident.
Aolai
Oriental Secrets
A man walked out from the barrier. He was dressed in white clothes as white as snow, which rustled in the wind. His sleeves fluttered in the wind, making him look like an immortal descended to earth.
His posture is as straight as a pine tree, his steps are as light as clouds, and every step carries an otherworldly aura.
He has a handsome and resolute face, and his fiery red hair and beard make him look upright.
What is even more eye-catching is the divine fire mark on his forehead.
"Gu Yue, you've been gone for more than 20 years. I wonder how you are doing now."
He used to be the most talented person among the Eastern Spirit Clan, and now he has become the patriarch of the Eastern Spirit Clan.
To lead the tribe towards a better future, of course, he cannot give up any of his members.
Not to mention, he is his good friend!
With the elders' orders and his own ideas, Dongfang Bu officially embarked on the journey to find Dongfang Gu Yue.
In the clan, if he had not shown his talent for incoherent speech and suppressed the matter of Dongfang Guyue's escape, the clan would have sent experts to go there long ago.
If Dongfang Guyue was captured and brought back to the clan, he would be unable to do anything.
But now, as the patriarch of the clan, it is no problem for him to protect Dongfang Gu Yue.
After Dongfang Bu left, ripples began to appear on the secret realm barrier again.
A thin man with a handsome face and a wicked smile walked out.
Like Dongfang Bu, there is a divine fire mark on his forehead.
"The current clan leader, Dongfang Bu, is extremely talented, but it's a pity..."
"You cannot be used by me, Dongfang Dianliang, so I have no choice but to ask you to die."
